Five people have been killed and scores injured after a suicide
bomber targeting worshippers at a mosque in Konduga, Borno State, our source gathered.

An anonymous source said that a pick-up truck conveying the suicide
bomber approached the mosque as Muslims were observing Jumat prayers.

A
local vigilante group however stopped the truck to inspect it and the
bomber then detonated the bomb a few metres from the mosque, he said.

Although no one has claimed responsibility for the attack, Islamist sect group Boko Haram has been suspected to be responsible for the heinous crime.

According to a witness, Mohammadu Sheriff vigilantes conducting
checks on a pick-up van were seen carrying firewood, but it suddenly
exploded.

“It would have been more devastating if the bomber had succeeded in
driving near the mosque, which had over a thousand people in it,”
Sheriff told Reuters.

Boko Haram has been unleashing terror on the country since 2009. It
has however gone unabated despite emergency rule in the northeast, the
hardest hit region in Nigeria.

The government has always assured
citizens that it was doing its best to end the insurgency but attacks
have continued and has become more frequent since the abduction of over
200 schoolgirls in Chibok. The sect wants an Islamic state and want
western education abolished.
